In a sweeping reassessment of early American literature, "The Gender of Freedom" explores the workings of the literary public sphere - from its colonial emergence through the antebellum flourishing of sentimentalism. The "fictions of liberalism" explored in this book are those of marriage and motherhood, sentimental domesticity, and heterosexual desire - narratives that structure the private realm upon which liberalism depends for its meaning and value.
